After lots of research online into rebuilding a relationship I have decided my first day’s goal is to compliment my husband. I have to admit, at first this seemed to be an easy enough task, but as I drive home and am planning what to do.. I realize, the last few years I have failed to ever compliment him. Wow how did I get to the point that it is hard to find something about my husband that I find attractive? As I drive I begin to really think about this and realize that maybe it’s not that there is nothing but that I have made it a habit to concentrate on the negative. I start thinking back to when I met him. I loved how silly he was and how he could always make me laugh. I loved his sense of style and the fact that he worked so hard to be healthy and that making me and the kids happy was his priority. I remember how he would push the kids on the tire swing for hours in the back yard. As I am thinking back I find myself smiling. There is hope of us being happy again, I JUST know it!
I get home before he does. I cook supper and wait for him. When he gets home, he is tired from his first day at the new job. I make it a point to tell him how nice the uniform looks on him, and he smiles. A real genuine smile….. OK this complimenting thing does work. Throughout the evening I find a few other ways to compliment and as I do I find him doing the same. It’s a nice evening, it’s nice to be nice and to be treated nice. I have enjoyed an evening at home for the first time in a long time. I even get a night kiss before bed. On to Day 2.
